If the chart is on the same sheet as the data:

Name the first cell of the data (A2) as a named range, say TESTRANGE. Created a named range MYDATA as the following formula:

=OFFSET(TESTRANGE, COUNTA($A:$A) - 5, 0, 4, 2)

Now, go to the SERIES tab of the chart SOURCE DATA dialog, and change your VALUES statement to:

=Sheet1!MYDATA

Now everytime you add a new row, it'll change the chart.
